ACT I
Overture
List and learn
Good morrow, pretty maids
For the merriest fellows are we
See, see, at last they come to make thier choice
Buon' giorno, Signorine!
We're called gondolieri
And now to choose our brides!
Are you peeping?
My papa he keeps three horses
Thank you, gallant gondolieri
From the sunny Spanish shore
In enterprise of martial kind
O rapture
There was a time
I stole the Prince
But, bless my heart
Try we life-long
Bridegoom and bride!
When a merry maiden marries
Kind sir, you cannot have the heart
Do not give way
Then one of us will be a Queen
Now, pray, what is the cause
Replying we sing
For everyone who feels inclined
Come let's away
Now Marco dear
Then away they go

ACT II
Of happiness the very pith
Rising early in the morning
Take a pair of sparkling eyes
Here we are, at the risk of our lives
After sailing to this island--
Dance a cachucha
There lived a King
In a contemplative fashion
With ducal pomp
On the day that I was wedded
To help unhappy commoners
I am a courtier grave and serious
Here is a case unprecedented!
Now let the loyal lieges gather round
Once more gondolieri
